The physiological response to infections and injuries involves local inflammation and the
initiation of events leading to a systemic response, also called acute phase reaction (APR) …

Reduction in long-term milk yields represents a notable share of the economic losses
caused by bovine mastitis. Efficient, economic, and safe measures to prevent these losses …

The body's early defence in response to trauma, inflammation or infection, the acute phase
response, is a complex set of systemic reactions seen shortly after exposure to a triggering …

The acute phase response is a complex systemic early-defence system of reactions

The health of dairy animals, particularly the milk‐producing mammary glands, is essential to
the dairy industry because of the crucial hygienic and economic aspects of ensuring …

The objectives were to establish the origin of 2 acute phase proteins in milk during
subclinical bovine mastitis and to characterize the relationship between those proteins in …

Haptoglobin (Hp), an acute phase protein mostly secreted by the liver, is an inflammatory
marker. To use the full diagnostic potential of Hp measurements for mastitis, we developed …

Ten multiparous Holstein cows were used to determine the effects of negative energy
balance (NEB) on the immune response to a Streptococcus uberis (strain O140J) mastitis …

New tools are needed to detect chronic sub-clinical mastitis, especially in automatic milking
systems. Haptoglobin and serum amyloid A (SAA) are the two most sensitive bovine acute …
